BALLET
Dear Reader,
The topic that I chose was ballet. I chose this topic because it has some personal meaning
to me. When I turned three years old, my mother signed me up for a ballet class at a dance
studio. This was the start of my dance career. I danced ballet from when I was 3 years old up
until the age of 13. During my time as a ballet dancer, I accomplished goals and moved up from
the baby classes with regular cloth shoes to the more advanced classes with pointe shoes. I had
always dreamed of becoming a professional ballerina. This period in my life was filled with
happiness and moments where I felt free. There was no rules. It was a way for me to channel all
of my emotions and express those feelings to people that understood me. This is the reason that I
wanted to do my muti-genre research project on the subject of ballet. I want to educate people on
the art of dance and ballet and I want people to understand why I love this art form so much.
Sincerely,
Ashley Wentzell
